About our air conditioning repair in Botley
Think of it as a doctor’s appointment for your air conditioning: find the cause, put it right and check it’s healthy before we leave. Guesswork costs money, and topping up refrigerant on a system with a blocked filter fixes nothing. Typical jobs include a fault code on the display and a system that keeps cutting out, across VRF systems, ducted systems and wall-mounted split systems.
Around Botley, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Botley questions
Do you cover smaller places like Botley?
Yes. Botley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Botley out of hours?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Botley. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
An error code points us in the right direction, but it isn’t the whole answer. Write down the code and turn the unit off if it has stopped, and call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
In most cases, we recommend replacement. R22 can’t be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is normally the better investment.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
It could be a dirty filter, the wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Check the filter and the settings first, then ring 07833 053749 or send an email if it’s still not cooling.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.

What we do, step by step
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Work in Botley is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- Where a repair does not make sense, you’ll hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
Air conditioning repairs in Botley: local notes
Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Botley, including Hollybush Farmhouse (grade II*). That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 42% of homes across Botley and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault. For a school like Ley Hill School, urgent repairs can be booked right away and bigger work in the holidays.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Leave it or put it right?
Running with a fault wastes electricity. A dirty coil, a blocked filter or a low refrigerant charge all make the system work harder for less cooling, and the extra strain can shorten the life of the compressor. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Botley.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What the work involves, system by system
Fans and compressors
Fans are the moving parts most likely to wear, often starting with a noise or weaker airflow. Indoor and outdoor fan motors can typically be replaced where the parts are available.
Ducted and cassette systems
Water through a ceiling below a cassette or ducted unit needs prompt attention. The cause is typically the condensate pump, a blocked drain or a tray that’s overflowing, and we check all three.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
